Don’t trust AI to know what they’re doing for you. The only time they work reliably as a tool is when you already know what you’re doing enough to spot their errors.
AI is the wrong tool here. You need to do real internet research.

Exactly this. People here mass downvote but I personally find AI to be extremely useful… To do things I already know how to do but don’t have the time for. I don’t trust it to do things I can’t spot the errors in

The only useful thing I’ve found so good for is quickly scrubbing though shops. They are really good at looking at hundreds of urls and reviewing the content and then vomiting up the results
When looking for a laptop it was invaluable.
Those sub reddits that are basically nothing but people asking for laptop recommendations basically could just be replaced with a LLM.
AI is after all the perfect example of wisdom of the masses. Aka 80% accurate 80% of the time.
Seriously trying to find a 18 inch hdr laptop with a AMD CPU and replaceable ram that did not contain a laundry list of parts that I know have no driver support on Linux… Is a pain in the ass. Cause half the time AMD laptops arnt advertised at fucking all and sit on some random page you have to know just exists.
Even using newegg filters couldn’t find the fucking laptop cause of mislabeling. But the AI found it.
Fucking thing is like a web crawler on crack.

I actually had an AI assist me in flashing the firmware, as well as flashing a custom ROM later on, of a phone I was just testing on for fun, and I was only confident since I had a chunk of prior knowledge of ADB as well as other tools and the differences between mobile and desktop system structures, and for the stuff I didn’t understand or know, I just researched externally and figured it out.
Blindly trusting it though is a fools errand, just like myself a few years back messing with my laptop’s Linux install, copy pasting everything and then complaining when shit broke.
